> I haven't had access to the Thomson gateway device for long enough to see how the traffic is segregated
Given the generally atrocious default security of most home router vendors, I'd assume its equally terrible, and maybe you get a nice surprise.
> $10/day is $300+ a month - I pay $50/month for 7GB of data on Telstra's 3G/4G networks
As I said, I was using it when travelling from home (Thailand), so it was $10 a day (max, if i didn't use it or used less than the cap amount, no/less cost) for unlimited data (still using Telstra's network). The alternative was to use a prepaid telstra sim, which from memory at the time gave me maybe 4 gb of data for.. $59 or $69?
I wasn't suggesting its an option for you, just explaining that those "free wifi" things always seem like a shitty deal to me, compared to the cost of your own data service.

I must have missed something, what's the RIP for?
